Microsoft escalates ad assault on Google [AP]
This time, Microsoft is vilifying Google Inc. for sharing some of the personal information that it gathers about people who buy applications designed to run on smartphones and tablet computers powered by Google's Android software. Earlier ads have skewered Google's long-running practice of electronically scanning the contents of people's Gmail accounts to help sell ads and attacked a recently introduced policy that requires retailers to pay to appear in the shopping section of Google's dominant search engine.

Well there are A LOT of great, amazing, perfect moment photos that have never been published, and will probably never be widely seen thanks to the good ones drowning in millions of other photos every week.
This photo is great, and I won't even say "I've seen better" because there isn't any other like this, but the only good photos you know are the one's you've seen, and at the end of the day that's what it's all about; exposure
|Previous news story Next news story
McCurry's famous 'Afghan girl' portrait almost never published
Nearly everyone has seen photographer Steve McCurry's striking 1985 National Geographic cover portrait of Afghan refugee Sharbat Gula, but it was nearly left on the cutting room floor. He revels the story behind the picture in his new book, "Untold: The Stories Behind the Photographs."
McCurry only took a handful of frames before the young girl got up. Editors at National Geographic came close to picking a different image for their cover. The photo editor at the time chose an image with Gula's hands covering her face, but the magazine's editor made a change at the last minute.
|An alternate frame by McCurry that almost made the cover of National Geographic in 1985.
In more than 30 years as a photographer, McCurry has covered war zones to natural disasters, but he'll be remembered for the shot of "The Afghan Girl" with piercing green eyes.
|National Geographic cover shot of Afghan refugee Sharbat Gula (left) and photographer Steve McCurry (right).
He told TODAY: "I knew it was a powerful portrait. But I never dreamed in a million years this would become an iconic photograph."
Well there are A LOT of great, amazing, perfect moment photos that have never been published, and will probably never be widely seen thanks to the good ones drowning in millions of other photos every week.
A brilliant,powerful portrait,for generations to enjoy.
Me thinks this is what photography is all about."CAPTURE THE MOMENT" simple.
The PHOTO just makes me happy every time i see it.
Only once in a while you come across something so captivating.
It could be professionalism,luck or anything else.
Thank you photographer & N.G.
Always a pleasure to look at - thank for posting! Especially after the hipster "photography".
Once seen, you will never forget those eyes.
Good photographer and salesman too.
Has the Afghan refugee Sharbat Gula ever received any kind of compensation?
Yes. http://www.phaidon.com/agenda/photography/events/2011/september/07/revealed-the-true-story-behind-the-afghan-mona-lisa/
Good or bad, you can only get that look of hers when your life and environment does shaped it like that for you (not an easy life).
To those whom thinks that the picture is very powerful, it is because their environment is opposite of her; the more opposite the bigger the impact.
Is it good or bad?
It merely everyone just livin' their part in this life.
Steeve McCurry, I believe he is part of a good life environment background, which he chose to dwell in "God forsaken places" for a "slice" of the moment to be presented to the people in a "good life environment" and feel the impact of "being human".
Is it good or bad?
to the people of his subject, it really doesn't matter nor have any impact.
Go and ask her, she didn't even realize the value of her photo until Steeve made contact again tracking her; yet it still doesn't mean anything at all to her, cause that's her life.
We'd might say with words that her environment is "not good", but still, it doesn't matter at all.
"As Cherie Hiser has said: 10,000 negatives 1,000 prints 100 good ones 10 great ones 1 is all they remember."
What odd comments on this article - they are the most unusual I've ever seen on this site. I think the variety and number of comments speaks to the power of this photo, no matter how you feel about it.
Already there are many opinions. I agree that this is an iconic shot. But what about her fate? Her living conditions did not improve. She still shares poverty and ignominious life in remote and rural Afghanistan. While N Geographic increased its circulation among elite circle, that lady lives the life of obscurity. Rather too much propaganda might shower wrath of undue fundamentalist attention on her. It is too late to rescue her destiny and her family from the vicious cycle of war ravaged Afghanistan. She is the mute symbolic icon of millions of women suffered from unnecessary show piece of war anywhere in the world.
Neloy, honestly your questions, concerns and deep thoughts would be better served at the United Nations. The following quote came to mind after reading your intellectual assessment of the photo.
"Interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art. Even more. It is the revenge of the intellect upon the world. To interpret is to impoverish, to deplete the world—in order to set up a shadow world of "meanings." Susan Sontag
You all seem to be debating an image merely because it is here on show again.
It is here on show again, is a clue. You all take pictures this good all the time, but they are not published on covers etc because you do not work in the industry.
The girl's history and the circumstances cannot be gauged from the shot- it's just a snap, and because she has big eyes it is attractive- like TV presenters with big eyes- think The Gadget Show....
So the media are manipulating you as usual, which is why I quit 40 years ago. The choice of this image is fiscal- they chose the pic they knew would sell the magazine- like a page 3 girl in the Sun. It has nothing to do with photography at all, but money- its the money shot.
Let me disagree, it's not just a snapshot. It's a masterpiece. As in many McCurry works you can see all the dignity of the person in this picture, all her desperation, everything.
It's not the big, beautiful green eyes, it's something more. something that I can find in every McCurry book I've read.
Yes, and I *almost* got married to Kate Middleton.
I bet the feminist loved that picture, but what about the boys and men who defended that girl and others and who died! I guess dead people cannot speak and probably don't make great photographs! :)
How strange to begrudge a picture of an orphaned girl in a refuge camp. I hate to tell you but the popularity of that picture isn't due to some feminist conspiracy.
You're right, women should never be photographed in case there is a man somewhere who is more deserving.
Nothing against Steve really, never met the man, but I am so tired of seeing this image year after year, endlessly promoted by NG or him. I've really come to dislike it as a result, sorry.
That photograph may be overly "promoted", but what great image is not? Like the couple kissing on VE day, it has become part of our national consciousness. I had always assumed it was something of a lucky shot until I came across McCurry's website. His photographs are simply amazing! Now I am convinced that he is one of our greatest living photographers. Check it out. I don't care if he is less than gentle in workshops, the humanity in his life's work is unmistakeable.
It's not like it's not a good photo (you do know why it was used?) but the never-endless promotion makes me puke.
Let's move on, this didn't win the second world war. And there are far better photographers that those that worked for NG.
How many times has Amazon (aka DPR) plugged this old old shot this year?
Get real people.
I met McCurry a few weeks back and he was an extremely humble and nice person. It's not so much him that keeps talking about the pic but the general public- it's just something very much associated with him. He has exceptional skills and has hundreds if not thousands of great pics, but for some reason people have latched on to this particular photo.
Sharbat Gula -şerbet güle in Turkish- What a self-explanatory name ! Everything happens for a reason.
'Şerbet' means 'Candy', 'Güle' means 'let fate make her smile'
too much time with the same, McCurry is on the way to be a overrated photographer
Meh not enough bokeh.
have always admired his work but I did a workshop with him a few years back and discovered a whole other side to the man... when he did eventually turn up he was simply a very little nasty man, reducing one participant to tears seemingly just for the fun of it... avoid his workshops at all costs!
So many dullards don't realize the truth behind these old endlessly promoted myths. .
It's an amazing, thought-provoking candid portrait.
It would have been a shame if it hadn't been selected.
Born yesterday?
Thank you for the constructive comment.
I saw this image on the cover of my grandmother's National Geographic when it came out. It never stops being a great photo.
Well if not for fate none of the people in this story would have ever been alive, let alone all of them at the same time in a position to make this photo happen. So one photo getting picked and not the other seems rather mundane to me.
it is not only one of the most important images of the 20th century, but likely could become the photographic version of the Mona Lisa, IMHO. The shot of the girl with her mouth covered is a great image, but it leaves the viewer wondering if she is smiling behind her veil or frowning (the eyes can go either way) ... the cover shot leaves no ambiguity (and is very much like Mona Lisa's smile). To me in the 1980s it touched me as a girl suffering as a refugee from Soviet aggression... today we see the real horror... a girl photographed in the mid 1980s who is living in a world stuck in the very dark ages. This image and the later shot of Sharbat as a woman, printed 18 feet tall, is the centerpiece of the NGS 50 top covers traveling the world right now (currently in Singapore). It took my breath away when I saw it there, and caused a lump in my throat (again). If there were a dictionary entry for "the power of photography" this would be the illustration!
With all the made money, did her family get help?
Yes they have. From telegraph uk: '....At that point, McCurry decided to "give back". He and National Geographic arranged for Gula's daughter to have a sewing machine; they paid her family's medical bills; they organised a trip to Mecca for Gula and her husband; and they set up a charity, The Afghan Girl's Fund, to provide education for women in Afghanistan.'
I never liked the portrait with the peering eyes - i don't like the artificial green background - but I love his other, even more realistic picture with the hands and the living eyes - thanks a lot for showing it here!
artificial green background??? Unless you were there when it was taken, I think you might want to consider that background to be a scrap of Russian shipping container metal (that green is one of their favorite colors) that ended up as someone's living quarters in a refugee camp!
What background? I only saw eyes...
the guy clearly went mad with the saturation slider. Look at the reds in the two. Much prefer the first image.
Film. It was film. I imagine there were some similar thing to saturation slider, but I really think the colors are real. Look at the lips. I remember seeing this photo in NG in Italy, when first published, in the newsstands... And this tells a lot about photo.
"Saturation slider?" How old are you?
Artificial? Saturation slider?... Take a look at his work. He often moves people into soft light and next to colorful walls to add dimension to a pic.
I think the vulnerability of the open face combined with the piercing power of the girl's eyes looking directly at you make the chosen portrait far more powerful than this almost-was selection. Not that this alternate choice is anything but great, but I don't think it had a chance of becoming iconic.
The photo that was published is the one that does it for me, and I find it far superior to the one that was pulled.
The girl connects directly with the camera and photographer and her gaze is concentrated on them. But what lies behind that glaring look?
In the other image, this direct connection is missing, leaving me to wonder what she is looking at and what causes her to bring her hands up in front of her face in apparent fear of something we can't see. Or is she simply covering her face as a Muslim woman would in front of men?
The photo they almost picked would've been equally good, imo. Those piercing green eyes would make almost any photo taken of that girl (by a knowledgeable photographer) a work of art.
Is 'published' image post-processed ? I'm asking this because in alternate frame, colors are not so vibrant....
My all-time favorite photo. Congrats Steve McCurry.
They are both icons !
He did go back and found her as an adult, and was able to take pictures of her grown up, along with her husband. She obviously had no idea her child's face was iconic. It is a powerful image !
I like both images. Equally striking. Hope the girl (now woman) is doing well.
Hi Alpha Whiskey, here Juliet Romeo ;-).
Well the Afghan "Girl" has a life like many Afghan women I guess. You should really check out this wonderful report in which Steve Mc Curry searches for this Afghan Girl.
I never liked this photo. The expression of the girl is simply exaggerated in an unnatural way. But given the results and positive comments I am obviously wrong.
Best regards
I am sure it was the first time she was posing for a shoot :)
Yes, you are....
If her expression seemed at all disingenuous this image would have seemed tacky. But the intensity of her gaze coupled with the seeming honesty of it made this image the success it became. Those are my ¢2 at least.
The greatness of the photo is that anybody could have taken it. That is what has always made it so striking.
@mcshan that's the point of NG photographers. While technical ability is expected. Having access is key, and it I'm sure it took work, planning and financial support, etc. Things that many shooters don't have or would bother doing. Especially considering the technology of 80's.
Steve McCurry just called to tell you he doesn't care.
The greatness of that photo lies in the truthfulness of that girl. In many ways she can be concidered the creator of the image. Not to say she wasn't a brilliant choice of the photographer and the editor in chief.
Thank you Ferling. I enjoyed your post.
The Eyes! My all time favorite portrait...

At one time, a 354-acre tract near Kunkletown along the Kittatinny Ridge in Monroe County was scheduled for development as an alpine-style auto racetrack.
Referred to as "the Alpine property," Wildlands Conservancy and the trustees of the Palmerton zinc settlement purchased the property, which has been turned over to the Pennsylvania Game Commission as part of State Game Lands 168. Closing on the deal was announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on May 24.
Wildlands Conservancy President Chris Kocher called the preservation of that plot "one of the most significant conservation deals in our land trust's history."
It didn't take long for someone to prove the ecological significance of that unique piece of open space.
On June 5, 18-year-old Corey Husic, a Moravian Academy graduate who will be a freshman at Harvard in the fall, took a bike ride to the property to check out some of the wildlife and do some bird and insect identification.
Husic is an accomplished naturalist in the region, but on that day he came upon a first.
"I found a Brook Snaketail dragonfly," he said last week.
Most people would not be able to identify a Brook Snaketail (Ophiogomphus asperus), or understand its significance, but as a self-motivated naturalist, Husic knew exactly what he had found and what it meant.
"The Brook Snaketail dragonfly requires very high-quality streams and had never been recorded in Pennsylvania before," Husic said. "It's been seen in New York, and rarely in New Jersey, but it does occur there. This is the first documented Brook Snaketail in Pennsylvania.
And where there is one, there are more. Husic suspects there is a breeding population of the rare insect. He captured his find with an insect net, took a photo and then released it back to the wild. He recorded the finding on his blog and submitted the photo to several people for confirmation of the find.
The Brook Snaketail dragonfly is characterized as a larger dragonfly with green flecks. Husic said they are very difficult to identify, and you basically have to hold them in your hand without harming them to look for those detailed characteristics.
Several authorities in the field have studied the photograph and confirmed the findings, including noted artist Ed Lam of New York, who is working on publishing "Peterson Field Guide to North American Dragonflies," and who also has a published book on damselflies of the Northeast.
"Brook Snaketails require the right habitat and high-quality streams, and the Aquishicola Creek provides that right there," Husic said. "For dragonflies to emerge, a couple of environmental characteristics are necessary.
"Young dragonflies don't fly, but live in wetland habitat. Snaketails use streams. They're regarded as the trout of the dragonfly world because they need such high-quality, oxygen-filled creeks with rocky bottoms rather than sand or silt. On top of that, when dragonflies emerge to fly, they need open habitat with woodland that can provide a food source of smaller insects to breed and survive.
"It really just goes to show what treasures are out there that we've never discovered nor know are there," Husic said. "This property was threatened for development, and then this rare organism was living on and using the property."
Husic has since been back to the property but has not found the Brook Snaketail. He has, however, found the Maine Snaketail, which is a rare, but-not-unheard-of finding in the state.
"The Kittatinny Ridge is very important ecologically and this was a great day for conservation in Pennsylvania," Lehigh Gap Nature Center Director Dan Kunkle said when the deal to preserve the land was announced.
"Protection of this property advances Blue Mountain Preservation Association's mission to preserve and protect the unique forest ecosystem of the Blue Mountain and the Aquashicola high-quality trout stream which were threatened by the planned development," BMPA President Frank O'Donnell said.
The property includes more than 15 acres of flood wet plains, a tributary to the Aquishicola, and is home to the federally endangered bog turtle. Bird watching, hiking, hunting and fishing will be allowed on the property now that is owned by the Pennsylvania Game Commission and part of the state game lands system.
"It will be managed to protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat damaged at Palmerton Zinc," said William A. Capouillez, director of the Game Commission's Bureau of Wildlife Habitat Management.
Wildlands Conservancy is hosting a hike on the new portion of SGL 168 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday. It is called "Alpine Property: Hike and Presentation." To register for it, or for more information, call Wildlands Conservancy at 610-965-4397, ext. 112.

Career Services:
I am not close to graduation yet, so Im not really sure.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Pretty liberal with financial aid, even though some of the women who work in the office have nasty attitudes.
The social scene is probably the most negative thing I can say about this school. A lot of the students are very childish.
Academic Flexibility:
Everything went pretty smooth, except some of the ladies in financial aid can have attitudes sometimes.
Campus Resources:
Library is nice and big, open pool hours three days a week, and you can usually use the gym whenever they are not having a game. Big locker rooms. They do not have a lot of pre organized activities though, you kind of just show up and do what you need to do.
Campus Resources:
Computer lab is big with high speed internet. Only problem is the people that work in there are very rude, especially when it comes to printing more than 15 pages, because only the nursing students are allowed over 15.
Academic Experience:
Personally I loved the EMT course at Forest Park. I had the best teacher and adjuncts that helped her. They offered study groups and were very helpful towards everyone. I also met a few fellow students in the classroom who I became good friends with. The teacher was very honest and an experienced paramedic, and you can tell she has a big heart and wants every single one of her students to make it. Tests were moderately hard, but they prepared us well for them. A lot of team work, which is what EMS is all about after all!
Academic Experience:
This is a great school to get a technical certification, or 2 year degree. Its affordable and accessible to anyone at any level. They make everything simple, and let you know what to expect.
Student Body:
Typical student is someone who is there to only take general classes for something to do. Most of them have no career goals and mostly sit around in the cafeteria in groups yelling and talking about people, kind of like high school. You are more likely to meet more mature, career oriented people in one of the technical programs this school offers, like culinary arts or EMT. The nursing and dental hygiene students stay to themselves and are very stuck up. Basically, you have to dig deep to find decent friends who share your interests in this place, otherwise, try and stay to yourself if you don't want be disappointed and pulled into drama.
Online Courses:
Online teachers do not really pay attention to students, late with grading work, and seldom reply to emails. Otherwise, its good that they wont fail anyone as long as you turn some kind of work in. But if its a subject that you really want or need to learn and gain knowledge from, don't take the class online. I would only recommend for required prerequisites.
Academic Flexibility:
The classrooms are average, but the professors or horrible when it comes to teaching.
My old colleges, didn't have student activities or any of this. They didn't even have a tutor center.
Campus Resources:
I love bringing my two children to swim meets and games. It is fun for us as a family and it shows them that even mom has to work hard and play harder.
Campus Resources:
I can pick it up sitting in the car if I need to complete an assignment before class.
Online Courses:
I just enrolled in online classes for the summer, so I can't answer this honestly.
Academic Experience:
I was unsure at first of what I wanted to do but now everything is geared toward me teaching.
Academic Experience:
The professors make themselves available after class if there are any concerns and they have an open door policy. It works well for us.
Academic Flexibility:
The fact the I have medical disabilities and they work with my appointments and hospital stays is wonderful. It never counts against me and I am able to make up anything missed.
Student Body:
I really stay to myself but I do enjoy the activities that happen monthly.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I have gotten more education then what I thought for the price we pay. I feel it is well worth it.
Career Services:
I love attending here. I have been at other schools in the past and you did everything on your own. Here at Forest park STLCC, they help you and they break it down.
Academic Experience:
I'm not doing my major
Academic Experience:
All the teachers that i have had was very helpful and was able to support and help you with anything needed
Tuition & Financial Aid:

Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
Washington, DC) Today Mayor Gray ordered a more stringent personnel review and background check of all Excepted Service appointees in his administration. This action is the result of his concern that the vetting process currently in place is not sufficient to identify all of the challenges that may be experienced by potential hires.
"While a vetting process was implemented, it is clear that the approach was not thorough enough to address all relevant issues and questions for Excepted Service appointments," said Mayor Gray. "Moving forward, I want to make sure that we check and double-check all current and future Excepted Service appointees by also engaging our own Metropolitan Police Department."
Mayor Gray's cabinet level hires were vetted through an extensive transition background check that included personal, civil and criminal background checks. The checks consisted of credit history, criminal offenses, driving and traffic records, bankruptcies, property ownership, liens and judgments. It also covered education, legal, and business affiliations. These checks were performed by an outside entity and paid for by private donations.
Gray acknowledged that in moving quickly to fill positions below the top level, there was not the same degree of rigor as utilized with the cabinet posts. In certain cases, assumptions were made that because an individual had worked in the previous administration, or was currently employed in the government, background checks had been performed.
The more extensive effort ordered by the Mayor will include current appointees in the Excepted Service as well as future candidates. "While it is hoped that candidates for jobs such as these would voluntarily reveal significant aspects of their history that could influence the decision to hire them, clearly that has not always occurred," said Mayor Gray.
The Mayor's action is unprecedented. He will direct the Metropolitan Police Department to conduct criminal background checks consistent with prevailing law enforcement norms on each of the Mayor's Excepted Service appointees.

Organic TRULY Raw Almonds, 16oz
These Almonds are TRULY Raw and Unpasteurized. Additionally, these almonds are from THIS YEARS Crop and are as fresh as can be. Lastly, these almonds are all graded as well and got the highest us #1 grading you can get. (in other words hey are high quality and are low in chips and markings).
Processed in a gluten-free facility.
Raw Food Pioneer, Dr. Norman Walker says; Eating nuts is our (100% Raw Food Eater's) greatest source of concentrated proteins and fats. Almonds, when fresh, raw unsalted, are the most alkaline of all nuts, being particularly valuable as nourishment for the bone structure of the body, and especially for stengthening the enamel of the teeth.
He goes on to say that almonds which have been pasteurized are harmful on account of the change which takes place in the fat under these conditions. The reaction on the liver and gall bladder is then detrimental and may sooner or later interfere with the complete and proper function of these organs.

Now that I've had a week to think about the big controversy on ''The View,'' I've come to the conclusion that my comment that ''Muslims killed us on 9/11'' was really not what caused Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to walk off the set. No doubt that pithy piece of analysis ticked them off, but there is more to this deal than meets the eye.Keeping in mind that I could be wrong about my speculation, let's walk through this. I've been on ''The View'' a number of times, and usually things are lively but under control. We've even had some laughs. But when I entered the studio last week, I picked up a different vibe, especially from Goldberg. I even mentioned it when I walked out, telling Whoopi she didn't look happy to see me. She replied that she had gas. Sometimes I have that effect on people. The conversation was centered on my book, ''Pinheads and Patriots: Where You Stand in the Age of Obama.'' From the jump, Behar seemed offended that I mentioned the president's falling poll numbers. In fact, a chill descended that would have made Frosty the Snowman nervous. The ladies quickly disposed of the economy as a ''Bush problem'' but became agitated when I put forth that Obama had created a gulf between him and some regular Americans. I backed up my analysis by saying the president's refusal to comment on the ''wisdom'' of building a mosque near ground zero was a mistake. Goldberg asked why. I replied that the mosque's location was inappropriate because ''Muslims killed us on 9/11.'' That caused Goldberg and Behar to head for the locker room, and it wasn't even halftime. Believe me when I tell you that I had no idea the conversation was going to end up like that. I simply went on that program to reach an audience that might not watch me on the Fox News Channel. Plus, ''The View'' gave away my book to all the people in the audience. And I got a banana and juice in the green room. When the ladies walked out in a huff, I have to be honest, I was surprised but kind of pleased. I knew that everybody would see the incident on the Internet and that I could milk a number of segments for my TV program. It seemed like a good deal to me at the time, and looking back, I think the display had as much to do with Obama's declining fortunes as it did with Muslims. But as it turns out, an important point has emerged from all of this. Political correctness was breached, and millions of folks heard the truth. Muslims did kill us on 9/11, and there is a Muslim problem in the world. If you want to walk away from that truth, I can't stop you. But a better strategy would be for all of us to acknowledge the danger coming out of the Muslim world and work together to mitigate it.

Environmental Engineering
In the past, environmental engineering focused primarily on the design and construction of water and wastewater treatment systems and municipal solid waste management. However, because environmental problems have become more and more complex, the range of environmental engineering activities has increased significantly. To meet new challenges, environmental engineering has become an interdisciplinary profession and now includes areas such as air pollution control, hazardous waste remediation, and life cycle engineering as well as many other new and developing fields. As a result, today's graduating environmental engineers can look forward to dynamic and challenging careers in a field dedicated to the protection of human health and the environment.

Health & Safety:
Urban, but Safe – The campus and Newton feel safe, but use common sense.
Limited, but Enough – Parking is usually not a problem @ ANTS. Just$25 gets you a perking permit, and as the school has only about 300 students on campus at any time, the 400 or so parking places are usually readily available.
Campus Dining:
Good Food, Reasonable Prices – Most people have an aversion to "School Cafeteria" food, but I am here to say it isn't so at ANTS! Food is tasty and there is a different variety then you may be used to at this school. Most of the time it is comfort food , but there is a style for all at almost every meal. There is something for veggens, gluten free, meat eaters, fresh salads, and the ever present soups. All are tasty even though a little pepper may be needed.
Everything Is Beautiful – The campus is beautiful, there are always activities going on. The student center and lounges provide places for students to study or hold events, the art studio is great, the library is beautiful and full of information. The chapel is absolutely amazing.
Health & Safety:
Super Safe – The school is set apart from the community and safety services (like fire dept.) routinely test the systems and are linked to the alarms at the school.
Local Atmosphere:
Quiet College Town – Just a thirty minute ride on the T and you're in Boston, not bad. The immediate area, however, is also home to Hebrew College and Boston College - there's lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The Enlightenment According to Steven Pinker
Brian Micklethwait has posted an excerpt from Steven Pinker's book The Better Angels of our Nature.
While I am not in total agreement with Pinker's conclusions, the excerpt from Pinker's book, posted by Brian, I think, is a sound analysis of the rise of enlightenment thinking. Brian's post is titled Steven Pinker's description of The Enlightenment.
Linked via Samizdata, where commenter JohnB astutely notes the following in response to Pinker's view that Christianity is a fallacy and illusion.
Christianity, as in that which Jesus came for in the first place, is actually about the individual, not the collective.
Individual freedom and responsibility before God.
Morally, you are on your own.
I know it all got politicised very quickly. And so it always does, it seems.
Our ability to see beyond that which we perceive as our limitations is always at risk.
And when we do the temptation not to see the spiritual, as different from that which is simply there but more or less unseen, also seems to lead away from the truth.

| Voyager's view
of Earth as a
pale blue dot.
Are you celebrating Christmas? Observing Hanukkah? Marking Sunday's winter solstice? Commemorating Carl Sagan's legacy?
Across the spiritual spectrum, this is the season of hope on our pale blue dot - even if you don't believe in God (or gods).
During the buildup to Christmas and Hanukkah, the news media tend to turn more attention to matters of faith, delving into the historical context for millennia-old beliefs. For example, this month's National Geographic's cover story focuses on what archaeologists and historians have found out about King Herod, the bad guy in the biblical Nativity story. (We recently posted an article about the wonders within Herod's tomb.)
But the Christmas season isn't just for Christians anymore: Even atheists are picking up on the holiday spirit, with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and like-minded deep thinkers putting on a show called "Nine Lessons and Carols for the Godless." The London show looks at marvels such as the big bang, evolution and the nature of consciousness from a totally secular perspective.
Dawkins told the Telegraph that he was taking part in the show because he was "fed up with atheists being portrayed as Scrooges, trying to rain on Christmas."
Whether you're more concerned about the soul or the solstice, December provides a good opportunity for reflecting on cosmic themes. You don't have to be a religious believer to get into that reflective frame of mind. "You just have to be an astronomical believer," Ann Druyan, the widow of the late astronomer (and agnostic) Carl Sagan, told me today.
Even before Jesus' time, ancient cultures marked the winter solstice as a time when the world was at its darkest, a time when each succeeding day brought more light, and more hope for renewal. "It's very human to feel that way about this time of year," she said.
The fact that this weekend also marks the 12th anniversary of her husband's death adds to Druyan's reflective mood. So does the recent passing of two of Sagan's colleagues: Steven Ostro, an astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Cornell astrophysicist Ed Salpeter.
"There's a sense of sadness, but also tremendous hope - more hope for the future than I've had for a long time," Druyan said.
One big reason for that is last month's election of President-elect Barack Obama - the candidate for whom Druyan went doorbell-ringing this year. Obama's recent choices for science-related posts have added to her optimism. "I think Carl would have worked to get Obama elected," Druyan said. "I think he would have been very excited."
Although it's been 12 years since Sagan left this life, his legacy is, if anything, more lively than ever. Druyan is tickled to hear that people are selling WWSD (What Would Sagan Do?) T-shirts and that there are thousands and thousands of Carl Sagan videos on YouTube. (It hasn't gotten to the "billions and billions" level ... yet.)
Here's a holiday treat: Carl Sagan delivers the Royal Institution Christmas
Lectures in 1977, on the topic of the planets.
One video that Druyan is especially proud of was posted by NASA just recently, focusing on the creation of the Carl Sagan Exoplanet Fellowships. She sees the fellowship program as a vindication for Sagan's long-held belief that astronomers would discover alien planets beyond our solar system, and perhaps alien life as well.
In the old days, the idea that astrophysicists might be studying the prospects for extraterrestrial life was "kind of scandalous," Druyan recalled. Now that quest is part of the scientific mainstream.
Sagan's contributions went beyond the purely scientific sphere: His deepest insights had to do with humanity's place in the cosmos, and the immense array of wonders surrounding our celestial home. It was Sagan who persuaded NASA to place a record of Earth's sights and sounds on probes heading out from the solar system. And it was Sagan who suggested that Voyager 1 take a family portrait of the planets as they receded in the probe's conceptual rear-view mirror.
When the pictures came back, Sagan rhapsodized about the smallness - and the largeness - of the "pale blue dot" where all of human history has taken place:
"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known, the pale blue dot."
This mash-up is inspired by Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" lecture.
With that, I'll open the floor for your own reflections on the interplay of science and spirituality, of faith and skepticism. For additional inspiration, here are links to online symposia from past years:
- 2002: How do you reconcile science and religion?
- 2003: Is pop theology good or evil?
- 2004: Does it always have to be science vs. religion?
- 2005: Debating stem cells and evolution ... and the "debate."
- 2006: What is the future of faith?
- 2007: Religion vs. science vs. politics
This year, I ask that you be respectful of others' comments when you make your own. After all, this is the season of hope.
For still more cosmic food for thought, check out Druyan's latest posting to The Observatory blog, the "Closer to Truth" Web site, this Voice of America remembrance of Sagan and this previous posting on the "gospels of science."
Update for 1 a.m. ET Dec.20: As fortune would have it, Clark Lindsey's Space for All blog is linking to the Voyager Golden Record Web site, which offers the images and audio clips that were placed aboard the Voyager probes. Any aliens who come across Mozart's "Queen of the Night" aria and the other masterpieces would have to realize that humanity wasn't all bad.

MOUNT VERNON The City of Mount Vernon will begin picking up leaves on Monday. There will be three machines operating this season. Two of the machines will be picking up all the main streets first, then proceed to the side streets and outlying areas. The third machine will start on the side streets and outlying areas.
The city emphasises that leaves are to be raked to the curb and not out in the street; this could cause clogs in the storm sewers. Residents are asked to refrain from parking on the street when leaf pick up is scheduled for that area.
The leaf machines will making one pass only so have leaves raked to the curb before crews arrive.
After the leaf schedule is complete, the streets that were picked up during the week of Oct. 29, will be picked up a second time weather permitting.
For updates on where leaf pick-up is taking place call the Street Department at 393-9501 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Loved them!!!
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations I received my invitations yesterday and I am absolutely amazed at how beautiful they are. I changed the colors from Red and Black to Navy and Lime and LOVE it! The quality of the paper and the printing is perfect and the service was impeccable. I sent an email with questions and within a couple of hours they replied answering everything I needed. I was recommended to this site by a friend and I have already told other friends who are looking to purchase invitations… this is the place to go! Thank you so much Magnet Street.
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations I recently purchased the rectangle invitations, RSVP cards and enclosers. The invitations came within 5-7 days of purchase. The website is easy to use to make any changes in color, font, and wording. I completely changed the wording of the sample and it still looked really nice. I used the black border with the indigo accent color. The indigo looked a little more on the purple side of the color spectrum than it appears online. If you are thinking about the indigo color I would suggest selecting a lighter color like the royal blue. The indigo color does not pop out against the black border. I purchased the linen paper. The quality is good. The paper is thick and looks like you spent a lot of money. Not flimsy. I also used the return address service. The only complaint I have would be about the envelopes. The envelopes didn't match the quality of the invitation. The envelopes were very thin. You could see the invitation through it. It's so thin you can read the invitation through the envelope. An inner lining or second envelope would solve that problem but I didn't see anywhere that you can purchase a liner or inner envelope.
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations My Signature of Love invites and RSVP cards arrived very quickly (standard shipping to Canada) with no extra brokerage fees, duties or taxes. The invites are very nice quality and came exactly as requested. Very happy with this purchase
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations THE QUALITY OF THE INVITATIONS WERE GREAT! I LOVED BEING ABLE TO MAKE DESIGN CHANGES ONLINE! I HAD A CERTAIN VISION IN MY HEAD AND THE FACT THAT I COULD PLAY AROUND WITH DIFFERENT FONTS/COLORS ETC WAS AMAZING
Beautiful invitation!
Signature of Love Rectangle Invitations I didn't know what to expect in the way of quality. It is an amazing card stock quality. the colors are rich and beautiful!

Missouri Tigers In Big 12 Clash At Oklahoma
Oklahoma is favored by a whopping 21 points at home vs. Missouri.
The Oklahoma Sooners will look to avoid a letdown coming off of their big road win over Florida State when they return home this Saturday to host the Missouri Tigers.
Kickoff is scheduled at 8:00 p.m. (ET), and will be televised in some areas on FX. The Don Best odds screen currently has the Sooners as a 21-point favorite at home.
With their win over Florida State, Oklahoma has solidified the No. 1 ranking in the AP Poll, and in all likelihood will play in the BCS National Championship. The Sooners' first loss of the season last year came against Missouri, so they should be on high alert in this one to make sure that doesn't happen again.
While the AP has Oklahoma ranked No. 1, the Don Best Linemakers Poll has them ranked No. 2 behind Alabama. Missouri is currently No. 27 on the Don Best Linemakers Poll, and would take a big step forward with an upset this Saturday.
Oklahoma (2-0) currently holds the nation's longest home winning streak with 37 straight victories, part of the reason why the Sooners are such a heavy favorite this week. In their season opener against Tulsa at home, they won 47-14 to cover as a 24 ½-point favorite.
Landry Jones, one of the country's best quarterbacks, has been much better at home over the course of his career. He threw two interceptions against Florida State last week, bringing his career total to 28; only six of those interceptions were thrown at home.
Missouri (2-1) had lost seven straight games against Oklahoma before upsetting the Sooners 36-27 as a 3-point underdog at home last season. The atmosphere may be much different this time around however, considering Oklahoma's home dominance and the Tigers having won just one of their last five road games.
New starting quarterback James Franklin has played well, passing for six touchdowns and just one interception through his first three games. In his first start on the road against Arizona State, he often panicked in the pocket and ran, piling up 27 rushing attempts in that one.
He'll have to trust his offensive line this week, as Oklahoma's closing speed will make it very difficult for him to find running lanes.
Oklahoma is 7-1 SU in the last eight meetings between these Big 12 foes, but has split those games 4-4 ATS. Saturday's 21-point spread is the most Oklahoma has been favored by over Missouri since 2003. The Sooners won the game but failed to cover as 27 ½-point home favorites.
Despite the offensive natures of these teams, the 'total' has gone 'under' in four of Missouri's last six games on the road and five of Oklahoma's last six games at home. The Don Best odds screen presently lists the total for Saturday night's game at 56 ½.
